2008 YAMAHA V Star Classic,

For years, 40 cubic-inches was a lot of motor. Guess what. It still is, especially when a sweet, overhead-cam 40-inch V-twin powers a bike that doesn't weight so much. The V Star Classic is light, maneuverable and ready for you to make it your own.

• Retro style is even cooler when it's combined with modern engineering, including an SOHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive.
• Rider floorboards, steel fenders, custom-looking clear turn signals, lots of chrome, etc. — the V Star Classic represents tremendous cruiser bang for the buck.
• Rigid-look frame provides a great ride via a hidden rear shock with 3.9 inches of travel.

• Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance.
• Wide-ratio five-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery to the asphalt.
• Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, reliable performance.
• Two-into-two chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling and deliver maximum low- and mid-range engine output.

• Stout, large-diameter steel frame designed to provide low seat height with ample legroom.
• Long, low 64-inch wheelbase adds to rider and passenger comfort and predictable handling.
• Stylish heel/toe shifter adds versatility and enhances overall cruising comfort.
• Comfortably placed full-size rider floorboards enhance ride by minimizing engine vibration and fatigue.
• Beefy, telescopic front fork with stainless steel covers and 5.5 inches of travel ensures a smooth ride with stylish durability.
• Hardtail-look frame conceals a link-type, preload-adjustable single rear shock with 3.9 inches of travel for excellent handling and a plush ride.
